It Doesn’t Matter How Slow You Go, As Long as You Don’t Stop: A Multiple Case Study Uncovering College Students’ Counseling Experiences

Vinz Paul Pael | Noe Garcia

Discipline: psychology (non-specific)

 

Abstract:

This study utilized a multiple case design to explore and uncover the counseling experiences of selected college students of Ramon Magsaysay Memorial Colleges, General Santos City, Philippines, School Year 2023-2024. Five participants were chosen to undergo the in-depth interview. This study utilized the semi-structured interview guide to know the multiple perspectives of the participants to be carefully interviewed. Participants were made to sign informed consents with the assurance of anonymity and confidentiality. The results of the interview were transcribed, translated to produce themes. The following were the key findings that emerged: Stigma and Fear of Judgment, Academic Stress and Overwhelming Anxiety, Coping Strategies and Mechanism, Impact of Counseling Service, Self-Exploration and Personal Growth, Resilience and Empowerment, Importance of the Counselor-Client Relationship, Support System. By addressing stigma, academic pressures, and the multifaceted needs of students while fostering supportive relationships and peer connections, the counseling center can provide more effective and holistic support to college students on their mental health journeys. This study’s findings can contribute to landscape college students' mental health and counseling services. These beckon practitioners and institutions to destigmatize mental health concerns, bolster academic support systems, diversify coping strategies, prioritize accessible counseling services, and nurture resilience.
